    See I really didn't need to hear that. Will be on your usual route on Saturday, so hopefully everyone already left for church. I got some mushrooms up around Wilmington DE in a hurry to be part of a spaghetti plate or next to a steak somewhere around Atlanta. I was already kind of counting on the usual warm weekend crawl down to Richmond.

    A personal Freind runs the unit that melts the steel for ingots at the plant. Some form of induction? In a vacuum chamber bigger than 2 tandem dumps. I was waiting to get loaded and he let me look in the sight glass, interesting to watch the process.

    So I get this call from FEDEX, they need a 7 pallet "solar panel support equipment" dropped at the site.

    I call the guy......

    Says turn left on the dirt road just past the old building.
    Then 2 miles down the goat path to just past the sub station.



    Guy tells me it's not on the map. Took him an hour to drive this in the mud.
    I lucked out it was dry today.

    If only steering wheel holders could do this. Lol

    301 would probably be the way to go tomorrow or Saturday. I would definitely keep the radio on 103.5 WTOP to keep up with traffic! It'll be work getting thru there for sure!

    No, it was Wildfire or Fire starter or something like that.

    It was a coustom Pete with double hump fenders that pulls up right at the beginning of the video.

    It was a rockin little song.
